More about A picture I took out in the forest today

Wandering around in my little Hell’s Half Acre here, somewhere out beyond the fence where the forest starts, I found myself down on my knees amongst the lichen and damp mosses. I discovered this strange little fungus growing and I wondered: Is it poisonous, or is it some kind of cordyceps whose spores are going to end up in my nose? Then they’re going to grow in my brain, and I’m going to become some kind of zombie. I’m going to go into town and die, with my body hanging over the edge of a tall building so that once the fruiting body gets going, it’s going to infect everybody in the city.
